Against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving network economy in recent years, the development of online business matchmaking has gathered pace on a global scale.

Opportunity Network gives members direct access to end buyers, distributors, investors and partners for joint ventures.
“We are delighted to partner with Opportunity Network and provide members of Collective 54 with opportunities across industries, geographies, deal types and sizes to support company strategic and business objectives, including forging new partnerships to support innovation, growth or new strategic initiatives,” said Linda Fisk, CEO of Collective 54. “Opportunity Network will allow our members to sell or acquire private companies, raise capital, and invest or execute any other strategic transaction efficiently and effectively. Collective 54 provides a platform for members to access unique opportunities to grow, scale and maximize their enterprise value, and this is another example of how we can serve the Collective 54 membership,” added Fisk.
Through this agreement, Collective 54’s network of owners of professional services firms can share business opportunities on Opportunity Network’s platform. Members can search through deals on the network and if they are interested in doing business, Opportunity Network makes the introduction. The company has facilitated thousands of connections to date and listed deals with an aggregated value of over $295 billion.
“Online business matchmaking has huge potential in terms of shaping the future of business partnerships. We’re excited to establish a trusted partnership with Collective 54 and to provide access to our platform across their nationwide network of owners, founders and CEOs of professional services firms.
